The National Endowment for Democracy

Russia Today has recently been covering “democracy promotion” by organizations such as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Understanding the NED is important for those who wish to understand who is backing the Dalai Lama. In the 1960’s the Dalai Lama’s connections with the CIA came under public scrutiny. Now the Dalai Lama receives much of his financial support from the NED which was created by the CIA.
